New Leash on Life!

We are in the middle of the dog days of summer in New York so I'm hoping these cute real dogs will cheer everyone up! I have been dreaming about getting a little furry friend and if I do, I am definitely getting a rescue dog and some chic accessories for them from Found My Animal! I actually saw their leash in a photo on The Sartorialist (below) yesterday and was wondering where it came from so I'm glad one of their owners emailed me. Perfect timing! Found My Animal was founded to bring awareness to pet adoption and their leashes are handmade in New England from custom made rope and the cute collars are waterproof. What's even better is that they donate 25% of their proceeds to the non-profit group Louis Animal Foundation! If your friend is as tiny as chihuahua or as big as an elephant, they can also made you a custom size leash or collar. You're on your own to find a dog as cute as their model Chauncey though!

For Pet Week

I decided to post some of my pets and a couple that I've had from the past, who are no longer with me unfortunately.  Dogs are the true meaning of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.  If you've ever reprimanded a dog and watched him/her walk away, all you had to do was call them back.  They come right over full of love, with no hatred or anger toward you.  Just happy to be around you and always wanting to let you know.  Losing two of my dogs (the white boxer and the brindle) was a very difficult & emotional time for me.  I still miss them both and have photos hanging in my office to remind myself of their time with me. Thanks to the awesome Madonna Fan & blogger (we have a couple things in common there)  Ms. Liberty Post. 

Pooch Decor

I LOVE sites about dog decor and this one was really cute! The name says it all Pooch Decor'.
It's so cool how he puts his designs on canvas, they are sooo adorable!

For Pet Owners

Once in awhile I place a posting about dogs, this particular one is just a warning to pet owners about the terrible dog food recall. Its so sad that so many pets are getting sick or passing away, due to this problem. Please take a look at the FDA website for a list of pet foods being recalled. You can also email me for the complete list for cats or dogs. These beautiful images were shot by Ken Phillips, he let me use them and I'm grateful to him. You can see the wonderful work he does for The Animal Hospital on Mt. Lookout Square. Perhaps making your own food is better. You can read my home made dog food recipe in the comments section of this post.

ART on chairs from France of course
